What I like is that you not only cover the typical Universal, Disney and Knotts parks. You venture out into others that are lesser known but also really cool to watch. Thanks so much again!
Some fun facts; YES! They use to have a Batman ski show, something the park was famous for back even when in Redwood city (the park moved like Elitch Gardens). Superman is actually the *original* model which was a custom and why the front tower is a square. The inversion on joker is called a Step Up Under Flip. Yes, Kong is bad. That area fenced off by the back area was where the 2020 coaster was supposed to go. It's a wild mouse. The joker denchers actually move/chomp, but someone keeps forgetting to plug them in.
Damn. The memories of riding Cobra over and over, then leveling up to Kong, then finally Medusa + Vertical Velocity. I need to visit this place again. Haven't been there since they had the Tony Hawk ride.
That Tony Hawk was so bad 😂. I wish they’d replace Kong and Boomerang with either one large flagship or two new units because they’re both everyone’s least favorite. Just too much money I guess
Fun fact: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, formerly Marine World Africa USA/Six Flags Marine World, used to have its own killer whale show dating back to the 1980s. Shouka was the name of the killer whale. Sadly last I heard Shouka joined shamu at sea world in San Diego so no more killer whale show there anymore. Other than that they still have decent animal attractions in addition to the coasters. Hope you had fun there. I haven’t been back there in a really long time.
Medusa was the rollercoaster that broke my cherry. Was absolutely terrified of roller coasters until my big brother “forced” me to go on Madusa. I remember crying and not wanting to do it. Then afterward I did it I was hooked. And have loved every coaster since then. Good memories.
As a kid, we went to Marine World when it was in Redwood Shores, on the Peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose. There were no thrill rides, basically a water park like Sea World…but no rides lol. We never went nice they moved to Vallejo in the 80’s. Looks like fun though, after watching your video!
I used to work as a ride operator at Medusa when it opened in 2000. Got to test ride it in the mornings before the park opened and at night. Best job for a high school kid 😁
I live two hours away from this and go here every so often, so it was cool to get someone else's perspective on the hybird animal/coaster park. I do miss the stunt show in the water area and wish they would bring it back. But it's like one of the only parks up here in NorCal so we do with what we got haha. Hopefully next time, more coasters will be open for you.
I love this Park, it used to be Marine World African USA in the past, and was more a zoo/ educational place where we could learn about all kinds of animals what they did and there habitat. Now its that and has tons of fun roller coasters and rides.
@@LENNIE-LCOBefore that in the 90ds it was owned by sea world and there main show was the orcas and dolphins. They also did use the amitheather for a ski show with acrobats and performers. They would do stunts. People wouldn't go there after a while because they thought it was borning as they got older and then sea world sold it to Six flags. Then it became six flag marine world then they added madusa, Kong, boomerang and roar. Roar turned into joker and so forth.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD it still has great animal areas as well , a butterfly house in the back, tigers, lions, kangaroos, there's a house for birds and you can feed them, there is a giraffe enclosure where you can feed them also. There are sharks, sea lions, sea otters, koalas, monkeys and more. There is an area where you can see where they take care of their animals as well. They have crocs behind you when you looked at the boomerang and flamingos. There is a dolphin and orca viewing area when you looked at the wall when you went up those stairs to where the food was, that's where they have them when they aren't performing. No one really knows about this park, unless you know people from here so I am glad you had fun and went here.
There are other rides in the back. I have been on hammerhead and it's pretty fun. Makes you go up side down and feels like you are flying. There are water rides as well, two of them a rapids ride and monsoon ride. Those get you soaked. They have fright fest during the Halloween season that is crazy and go all out. They even perform the thriller dance with a bunch of performers. They have people in costume and really great make up. They even have crazy mazes I have heared.
My dad who passed away a few months ago use to take me here all the time as a kid, it will always be marine world to me🙂 and I love seeing you cover it since it’s a lesser known park! 💙
Ive noticed a recent trend with the minimal maintenance to some of the rides. Medusa is developing a rattle after being butter smooth for years, Kong hasn't been touched since 1999 and continues to get worse, and Boomerang has gotten shakier. The only ride maintenance right now is the stuff they are doing for The Flash.
I was there last Friday for the first time since before the pandemic and i had so much fun. Im going back this friday too. The Joker is my favorite ride in California. The flash is almost always closed lol. Bullet dodged without riding Kong 😂😂 its the worst. Harley Quinn's ride, i dont think its ever been operational. Like it debuted but then it never operated.
I cant believe you came to my home theme park!!! I wish I would have known you were coming I would have totally came out that day!!! maybe thats why you dont tell people?? lol.
I went to discovery kingdom last month (and going tomorrow bc season passes were really cheap) and Kong was horrible it hurts so much and I had such a bad headache for an hour or so after. I love Medusa and joker though. Boomerang was my first upside down roller coaster and I loved it when I was 8 but it hurts now. Went on Batman for first time last month it was pretty cool, and Superman was closed most of the day when I went last time but I’ve been on it before and I love it more and more after each time.
I used to live in an apartment about a mile from there. It was on a hill and you could see the park from my front door. On certain holidays they have a fireworks show so I would watch it just outside. But I moved because it was getting too expensive, not just the rent but also bridge tolls. And I like SoCal better =)
One of my former employers had a *Food Stand* there; but when ever I went, it was to do some recon for my boss. Never got to truly enjoy the park, sadly I do not work for that employer anymore. BTW *Magic Mountain* had a lake in front part of park too, they did water ski shows there; this was back in the 1980s (maybe earlier than that).
I live about 20 minutes from there.. I used to go quite a bit until I went to Disneyland for the first time and saw what a theme park is supposed to look like. A few years ago it was quite dirty and unkempt - I'm glad they took the covid time to fix the place up... Doesnt look half bad there anymore.
I have such fond memories of Marine World/Africa USA, especially at its original location in Silicon Valley at what is now the Oracle headquarters.. I’m sad that many of the animal shows and the ski show are gone. But it’s a great park for thrill-ride seekers! I don’t have kids/grandkids and I do get motion sickness so I’m not big on rollercoasters. I haven’t been back there since they switched to six flags! Thanks for giving us a look at it!
The history is (basically) years ago there was Marine World (early 1970’s) which was located across and down the bay in Redwood Shores (San Mateo, where I grew up). Years later, and because the land grew so valuable they moved the marine life and animals up to Vallejo and created a park there, which over time morphed into Discovery Kingdom. BTW, the old site of Marine World became tech giant Oracle (which announced they are leaving California).
Hi Dylan, Again, awesome job of bringing us into the park with you and show us all around. Glad you got to experience some new roller coasters. Thanks and have a fantastic week.
Whoaaaa that Batman ride was different from the Batman ride I remember at six flags in Gurnee Illinois... oomph at the rides .m thanks for sharing they look awesome
That Batman themed water show at the amphitheater will always be one of my favorite attractions. They really went all out with that one. Great stuff, Dylan.
Dylan!! I was the one who met with you by Superman when you were leaving!! It was so nice to meet you and Carter, thank you so much for taking the time to chat :)
I'm 14 nearing 15. I haven't been to Discovery Kingdom since I was 7! I still clearly remember the Superman and Joker rides! Man, I miss that park. I wanna return someday
Sitting in the back of the pirate ship is kind of fun. Lasso of Truth is different from the one in Magic Mountain and "Marine World"s can be very scary as you are being held face towards the ground. I've heard grown men cry. The butterfly habitat is very relaxing. Vallejo can be kind of chilly so check the weather. Hurricane Harbor is in Concord unfortunately due to Vallejo's cool weather. Decent park to have in the Bay Area, but Magic Mountain is way better.
I’m so glad you got to do a video of Discovery Kingdom! I used to go there sooo many times years ago! Medusa is my favorite! Kong is definitely rough! If you already have a headache, skip it because you -will- be getting one after. Just try to stabilize your head as much as gravity will allow 😅
Omg I can’t believe you’re in my neck of the woods! Rip Odin! 🐅 Joker used to be called Roar a wooden coaster now retrofitted for modern steel track. Medusa is my favorite. I have 50 etches on my original Medusa keychain from its opening (I’ve marked it every time I’ve ridden)
We used to take Amtrak to this park when it was Marine World Africa. They had fantastic animals, games, rides & water ski shows. My boys loved to ride the elephants. Sad to see most of the animals gone and the trees are now cement. Are most of those coasters from Magic Mountain?
Marine World Africa USA in Redwood City when I was a kid. They almost relocated next to Great America where Levi Stadium is now but chose Vallejo in the end.
Allegedly, Fresno is in negotiations with Six Flags to relocate the park there. More open land, no height restrictions, and better taxes... Fresno has been working on building an aquarium, and this would most likely tie into the animal move too.
In some parts of your video, you have that Adam The Woo accent in describing some things like the "steel coaster" etc. hahahaha. Was that intentional? hahaha. lol.
I remember my mom taking me to this park as a kid when we went to Nappa Valley and the only thing I remember was eating garlic fires and riding boomerang like 7 times in a row right after. Regretted that later that night lol
@@twistedimagev2 It's not. Green Lantern was made by Intamin, and this ride is technically made by S&S but built by RMC and designed by the same person that designs all the RMC layouts.
This park is about an hour and a half from my house, but my last time there was in 2013. We have been going to Disneyland instead but I'd love to go again!
I saw you there! I went the exact day you went and I saw you in line for joker and Medusa. I missed my chance to say hi but it was good seeing you in person and it’s good that your visiting Northern California’s parks👊🏽
I remember when it was just a zoo back in the day and the killer whale show was the best thing at that park. . The rides started popping up when I was in high school. BTW kong is not that great of a ride. But Medusa is one incredible ride. Remember going to that when it first opened.
Haha I just realized you used on-board audio with off-ride POV, that’s a clever and creative way to give an on-ride experience! Maybe you’ve done this for other edits but I’m a newer sub, so just noticing. Great stuff! 🔥
Good lord, even though I live in the region the last time I went there was back when they moved across the bay and was still called Marine World Africa, USA, literally nothing amusement park about it back then either, a glorified zoo. Great America was always my wheel house, but yeah that outdoor theater on the bay was very much for a show.
I live in California all my life and still haven't been there its just california is such a huge state and Northern California is a far drive 😭🤣 coming from Southern California.
@@mitchellries256 haha they are like about 6 hours and that's still living in Southern California. I've always wanted to go up that way for the parks but there so far
@@ciscodiscokidddd I think that's too far from a vacationers perspective but for someone who lives in.the state, I'd make the drive every once in a few years.
@@mitchellries256 hmm true that . I live over in San Bernardino county so from there to there it's a extremely long drive . La county is a little closer so itll be easier but hopefully one day I'd be able to make a drive up there and finally accomplish to see those parks and the Winchester house
You're better off not having ridden Kong,I rode that about 15 years ago and it was one of the roughest rides ever,I have no clue how it still operates today
Dylan’s at my home park!! Love it! I’m going on the 7th. Yeah, Kong and Boomerang are skippable! Medusa is better than Scream, imo. Did you do Superman? That’s one of my fav’s for sure. Btw, years ago yes they had a water ski show! It was cool.
This place will always be Marine World to me 😀 lots of child hood memories
Same I always still call it that to this day
I always went there in summer AND AM GOING TOMORROW AM SO HAPPY 😃
How was it? Worth the price ???
@@mindyourbusiness209 I loved it! It’s like a mix between Sea-World, A Theme Park, and a Zoo
Always!

The joker denchers actually move/chomp, but someone keeps forgetting to plug them in.
Oh well thanks for all the info. 😁 Good to know for sure.
Joker teeth are not plugged in because there is a mechanical issue and it needs replacement parts.
@@tkr8866 that's unfortunate considering how it's just a crank system, but I assume the weather surely hasn't done it any favors.
@@AmusementLabs update. The teeth at joker are fixed and now chomping away for your viewing pleasure.
Haha I went on Joker on the opening day and I remember the teeth moving and I forgot they did that thanks for the reminder!
I love my home park! And yes I'm old enough to remember the water skiing show back in the old days!
Bad to the bone ski team I think was what it was called! Such a funny and very skillful show!!
Me too
Wasn’t there also a Batman stunt show
Or the Batman water show
Fun fact some of the scenes in 50 First Dates were filmed here. At the walrus and penguin exhibits.
Damn. The memories of riding Cobra over and over, then leveling up to Kong, then finally Medusa + Vertical Velocity. I need to visit this place again. Haven't been there since they had the Tony Hawk ride.

Wow. This was still Marine World when I left California.
Used to be called Six Flags Marine World when I first went there way back in the early 2000s
Marine World Africa USA
Its been discovery kingdom for many years now
@@AngelaSmith2030 I left California in 97, I’m sure it has.
A lot has changed for sure. 😁

Marine World actually has been around since the 60s. They relocated the park to Vallejo in the 80s.
@@AuntCooby thanks for the additional history.
Shouka is in fact at sea world San diego
It used to be Marine World Africa. They actually filmed Jaws 3 there and the pond is featured in the movie quite a bit.
Wasn’t it filmed in See World in Florida
Jaws 3 was filmed 3 years before the park even existed

My home park! Love it, the animals make up for the lack of roller coasters.
This park doesn’t lack coasters since it has more than the average park
The screams on Batman while watching third-person was great! Worth trying in another video.
I’ll do that in more videos for sure. 😁
Welcome to my neck of the woods. Thank you for sharing our Six Flags. Yes, that lake is where they did waterski shows!! I miss that

I remember going to this park as a kid and it was marine world Africa USA. A lot less rides at the time and more of a sea world type experience.
A second round on Kong sounds like torture! You should be thankful it closed lol
i love this park so much, mainly cuz it my home park but it has such fun rides

They all hang out a lot and rub off each other. Surprised he didn't say "best remove em ", lol
Lmao, it's him saying he's going on Kong and my instant reaction was to flinch. Yes, you dodged a bullet.

Right in my home town! Nice to see you up here bro! Come again soon!
I've asked this yesterday and I'll ask again. How is it that you've never been to this park before despite living in California your whole life?
I live in California all my life and still haven't been there its just california is such a huge state and Northern California is a far drive 😭🤣 coming from Southern California.
@@ciscodiscokidddd Tell me about it. I visited the Southern California parks in 2014 and wished the ones in the North weren't so far away.
@@mitchellries256 haha they are like about 6 hours and that's still living in Southern California. I've always wanted to go up that way for the parks but there so far
@@ciscodiscokidddd I think that's too far from a vacationers perspective but for someone who lives in.the state, I'd make the drive every once in a few years.
@@mitchellries256 hmm true that . I live over in San Bernardino county so from there to there it's a extremely long drive . La county is a little closer so itll be easier but hopefully one day I'd be able to make a drive up there and finally accomplish to see those parks and the Winchester house
Discovery Kingdom first opened in 1968 and was originally called Marine World
I haven’t been here since it was changed from Marine World. Good times.
You're better off not having ridden Kong,I rode that about 15 years ago and it was one of the roughest rides ever,I have no clue how it still operates today
I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on X2 at Magic Mountain! Spill that tea.
X2 is so rattley!
Dylan, I can't with the undeserved X2 slander! It is sooooo much better than those 4D freespin clones xD How Dare You!
Happy Tubevirsary Dylan here's 2 many more years of Entertainment
Kong is fun; but yes, it is really rough. Medusa is great too!
Yeah I know Kong is totally bad, but I just wanted to experience the head bashing for myself haha.
Can you pick your seats on these coasters or no?? I like to ride in the front on everything.
Yeah of course!
This is crazy to me!!! This is an hour and a half from me!!! Welcome tonNor cal amusement parks
Audio is very impressive for an watch, very ingenious Dyl Dyl
The s & s free spin was so fun
Dylan’s at my home park!! Love it! I’m going on the 7th. Yeah, Kong and Boomerang are skippable! Medusa is better than Scream, imo. Did you do Superman? That’s one of my fav’s for sure.
Btw, years ago yes they had a water ski show! It was cool.
Had no idea you could record through the Apple Watch. That’s awesome! -S
My home park!
The coasters are a lot of fun. Was glad to finally get Joker as a credit.
Listening to the audio was hilarious LOL. Great work around for rides we cant film on!
Dude!!! This is my home park!! Wth are you doing here!! I may have screamed lmao
